Hand all of your guests one of these with a bottle of beer and tell them it’s time for take-off 😉

Personalized Mini-Portraits

This one goes above, and beyond the pale, so we recommend this decadent party favor for small, intimate wedding groups with just family and close friends!

Hand Fan

A destination wedding in a tropical paradise, unfortunately, comes with hotter temperatures which means sweaty wedding guests. 😓

Hand fans are the perfect way to cool off your sweltered guests and to thank them for being a part of your special day.

Not only are they practical, but they also come in a wide variety of colors and styles, making them a great addition to any destination wedding.

Commemorative Golf Balls

Are you, your soon-to-be-spouse, or your guests big golfers?

Then consider gifting them commemorative golf balls as a way to thank them for attending your wedding. These golf balls can be personalized with the date of your wedding, your names, or a special message.

Not only will your guests have a fun and practical favor, but they’ll also be able to use them when they hit the links.

Mini Bottle of Local Rum

For a destination wedding in the Caribbean, for example, consider giving your guests mini bottles of a local rum.

You can add a personalized label with the wedding date and your name to make it an extra special keepsake.

Our recommendation? If your special day takes place on the Caribbean Island of Curacao, treat your wedding party to miniature bottles of Blue Curacao. This local liquor is a sweet, citrus bomb.

They’re so good that your guests will be mad that you only gave them a miniature bottle. 😉

Personalized Travel Journals

Encourage your guests to document their thoughts and memories of your destination wedding with personalized travel journals.

These journals can be custom-printed with your name and wedding date, and they make great gifts for anyone who loves to travel!
